Can you get off Ambien? I've read some bad things about that shit. Do you need something to relax you to make you sleep? Is it anxiety? Both? I might be able to recommend some things will help without resorting to shit like Ambien. Oh dear heaven, Jody. Can you get off Ambien? I’ve read some bad things about that shit.

I prepare a full fledged meal for everyone every night. I rarely eat with them, but sit and drink a cup of coffee and chat with them. I usually have eaten an hour before. Salads with the produce that is grown these days is very tasteless, so I treat myself to occasional pre mades from the store. I have been fixing myself peanut butter and sugar free jelly on 15 grain bread, with a few almonds on the side. Whoppee shit. I started taking Ambien again, and I get the famous Ambien eats about an hour after bed. I go downstairs and proceed, without compunction, and barely aware of what I am doing, to eat the refined sugar that I swore would never pass these lips. I am up to 153 now. *sigh* Oh Eri…bless you.

I lost weight on it and loved what I cooked. I'm a protein person. Unfortunately, my lipids got back on that diet. And without the fats to flavor things, I just didn't like it that well. I know that I eat too many refined carbs now and need to quit it them. Damn, it's hard because I so often am not up to preparing something even as simple as a salad.

There may be plenty of other very valid reasons to avoid salt. To be sure, the studies are talking about the relationship between salt and a few specific health issues.

This would be good news for me. Except for one little problem. I eat a lot of salt and I retain water which is not good. I have congestive heart failure. Maybe I'll have to have a discussion with my cardiologist with the pros and cons. I'm quite sure she'll keep me on the low-salt diet, although to be truthful, I don't follow it as well as I'm supposed to. So I'm retaining water. :-( Interesting. This would be good news for me.
